Google Ask For Me - Labs Experiment
www.seroundtable.com
Google has a new Search Labs feature named Ask for me. Ask for me will have Google call businesses for you, to figure out the cost of the service and when it can be scheduled for you. It is like that Duplex feature we saw years ago, where Google would try to schedule a restaurant reservation for you.

    Not that I as a small bussines owner would expect anyone to use this to call me about my pricing or services but the call would end real quick when I realise I’m talking to an AI. I don’t even have anything against AI per se, I talk with LLMs a lot. It’s just that if you can be arsed to personally call me then I can’t be arsed to serve your needs either - I have more serious customers to cater to.
